Alarms in Topology
If you have Event Management installed, Topology views display the color of the highest severity
alarm on a device in the color of its icon. To distinguish between alarms on equipment and sub-
components of that equipment, OpenManage Network Manager displays child alarms (alarms on
subcomponents) in a small triangle to the left of the device’s icon in topology.
Figure 21-25. Child Alarms, Contracted and Expanded View
If you expand the view of a device with such a triangle next to it, the subcomponent from which
the alarm originated appears with its icon colored in that alarm state’s default color. If no
subcomponent alarm exists, no triangle appears next to the device’s icon.
